Loosies
135 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
W: I was working in Wellington and looked at the time (8.45pm on a Friday night) and was absollutely panicking I wouldn't be able to find any dinner. It seemed like most kitchens close around 9pm.
A quick Reddit search suggested Loosies might be the go: an American-style diner on Cuba Street, complete with red lighting, checkerboard floors and vinyl booths. Did not disappoint, the place just got busier as the night went on. Food was good.
PS - Apparently there's a saloon downstairs with a pool table. I wasn't brave enough to check.
